Driveway Groomer

Driveway surface is scarified by lag bolts driven through 3x3; ridges levelled by angle iron bolted to underside of drag, and smoothed by floating angle iron trailed behind the drag. Wheels are from and old lawn tractor mounted on 3/4" bolts captured between 2x4s serving as an axle. Screw for lift mechanism is from an old woodworking leg vise. Its coarse thread speed s up the liftl, but a threaded rod could be used.

You should make some plans for that with a materials list:) I would buy one from you, it looks real simple and practical and it works! Thanks for sharing

Nice job

awesome design

[@delsmithfishing2891]

The best one I've seen so far . Wish you do a parts list . How did you get the wheels on it ?

[@therauches]

I used discarded front wheels from a lawn tractor. The axles are just 6" long bolts that are sandwiched between two 2x4s. Holes drilled into the ends of the 2x4s a bit smaller than the diameter of the bolts. They've held up well for several years.

Thank you for the reply , I need to build one of these !!

[@papillonanderson8755]

how did you get that clean edge line with the gravel?

[@therauches]

Actually I run along the edges with my rototiller! Only once or twice a year. I've also since added springs to force that trailing angle iron downwards as it was mostly just bumping along behind without doing much levelling.

Ken Rauch will you show the revised edition please !!
